   Hmmm, that was new. Saw this on something someone shared. Opened a separate Techdirt tab and got a 5-second cut-screen before Techdirt opened.

   And what if it had decided it didn't like my browser, @mmasnick ?

     @winterknell we got hit with a DDoS attack, and put the site into lockdown mode to stop the flood of bots. It was like that for about 12 hours before we brought it back to normal...

     @mmasnick Indeed, I see in your Discord window "Mike Masnick: btw, some of you may have noticed some problems with the site today and maybe even gotten some error messages/rate limits. we're looking into what's happening and working to get it to stop."

     @mmasnick That would explain what I saw. Hope all is good now.
